Snail mail season! There’s nothing quite like sending (or receiving) a handwritten card during the holidays.

I’ve been decking out windows with garland, ornaments, and all the festive touches, one little detail at a time!  Holiday windows are just a little something...extra with all the tiny lines and special sparkles that make them shine.

Holiday window season is in full swing, and I only have two spots left before Thanksgiving! ✨  If you're dreaming up custom holiday signage or a festive storefront in Louisville, now’s the time!

Ornament season has officially taken over my workspace. Coffee, twine, paint… everywhere.

It’s messy, it’s festive, and it’s my favorite kind of chaos.

Here’s a peek at the chaos before the magic because every hand lettered piece I create starts with a whole lot of scribbles, coffee, and good intentions.

Tell me: Are you ready for the holiday season this year?

Every tumbler I engrave is done completely by hand, no lasers, no vinyl, no shortcuts. 

If you’re looking for a holiday gift that’s thoughtful, personal, and one-of-a-kind, a custom engraved tumbler might be the perfect choice.

From my digital sketchbook: this lettering is a reminder to soften myself to soften my inner voice and offer the same kindness I would try to offer others.

Do you struggle with this too? Save this one for the days you need a gentler reminder.

“Lettering a window for a client” Installation day process “Getting started.” After the template is up, I step inside and paint on the interior, where the work will be protected from the elements and last as long as the client wants. “Trust the process” From the inside, the paint might look “off” from the template or streaky. That’s normal! “Finishing touches.” when the template comes down, I add finishing touches and we can admire the finished artwork.
